Technical specifications

This valve is a 2-position, 2-way poppet cartridge that incorporates an integral pilot control cavity. It controls flow from port 1 to port 2, exhibits extremely low leakage rates and will accept 5000 psi (350 bar) at both ports. Installing a pilot solenoid cartridge in the T-8A cavity results in a high-flow directional valve. Other pilot options include manual, hydraulic and pneumatic pilot cartridges.

  • NOTE: The main stage valve should first be installed to the correct torque value followed by the T-8A pilot control section into the main stage valve to its required torque value.
  • The -8 control option allows the pilot control valve to be incorporated directly into the end of the directional cartridge via the T-8A cavity. These pilot control cartridges are sold separately and include solenoid operation, air pilot operation, and hydraulic pilot operation. See Pilot Control Cartridges.
  • Incorporates the Sun floating-style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
